I do feel discouraged | F | 60 | 3 weeks 1X W | 10/31/2014 | 4 | Rheumatoid arthritis | I'm so tired of getting sick due to enbrel - I got some asthma due to it, bladder and kidney infections Enbrel works for the RA but the side effects aren't worth it. I wish there was a medicine that doesn't compromise my system | F | 42 | 3 years 50 | 10/29/2014 | 5 | pustular psoriasis | Slight injection site rash | F | 55 | 3 months 50 | 10/18/2014 | 1 | ankylosing spondylitis | Bad wounds on my feet and ankles that won't heel. Going on ten years now that lam 53 So the Dr's are Talking amputation on both legs Below the knees I have a bad case of a s but Enbrel made things even worse as you know ankylosing spondylitis is one of the most painful diseases and now I have these wounds That won't heal so now I stand to lose my legs do not try this drug it is bad stuff it's like playing roulette you never know when your number is going to come up that's why when they tell you about the drug the warning is a lot longer than the benefits because the chances are you going to end up? feeling lucky | M | 44 | 8 months forgot | 10/8/2014 | 5 | Psoriatic Arthritis | None. | This drug has been a godsend for me. I just wish it were as strong as Humira or Remicade for me. | M | 37 | 2 years 50 mg 1X W | 9/30/2014 | 5 | Rheumatoid arthritis | Site swelling, redness and hot to the touch, weight loss, muscle soreness. The 10 seconds of pain is worth it for me. | Was the last option medication for me. Prednisone and methotrexate had terrible side effects. Works wonders, I can get up with minimal pain and swelling. | F | 18 | 15 weeks 50mg 1X W | 9/24/2014 | 3 | Rheumatoid Arthritis | just starting on this drug, so no comments yet. Just want to keep up with everyone here to understand more about it. Thanks | F | 64 | 7 days 50mg 1X W | 9/21/2014 | 4 | AS | a lot of minor infections include eyes, ears etc. Reading this web site as I also have some adominal and chest pains which I can't explain easily away. I am booked in for some tests so I don't know whether it is associated with Enbrel or not as yet. | M | 55 | 1 years PROB 50 1X W | 9/17/2014 | 1 | Psoriasis | Sinus infection which included burning sensations randomly all over my body, weakness, & dizziness. Since starting Enbrel, have had issues with weakness of hands and arms, along with burning sensations, that seem to be getting worse. My doctor is testing me for MS now. My skin cleared beautifully but the side effects and serious risks aren't worth it to me. I've stopped taking Enbrel. | F | 40 | 9 months 50mg 2x/wk | 9/14/2014 | 4 | rheumatoid arthritis | palpitations and severe diarrhoea first 2 weeks | after struggling for the last 2 years, this is a wonder drug. I have had ra for 10ys and the last 2 I have only being surviving, work 3 days a weeks and the rest of it either tired out and asleep or in agony with knees that wouldn't bend, thumbs and fingers wouldn't bend. within 1 week I was like a new person. feel backed into a corner, don't want to take drug due to awful things you read about but don't think I could go back to being as I was. nearly split up my marriage, family life was awful I was in constant pain and took it out on them closest to me. can know shave my own legs, paint toe nails, peel vegetables and walk virtually pain free. think my first side effects were due to codeine withdrawal more than the Enbrel. I could kiss my rheumy. will live for the moment and enjoy. | F | 49 | 4 weeks 50mg 1X W | 9/8/2014 | 2 | Juvenile idiopathic arthritis | The injection burns and hurt very bad for me. At first enbrel was working very well so I dealt with it. However, my hair started breaking off and falling out everywhere...(all over my pillow when I woke up, on my car seat when I got out of the car, etc). I finally got my thyroid checked and when that was fine I told my rheumatologist. We discovered I was having a rare side effect to the medication and she took me off of it ASAP. I now take orencia and my hair has started growing back. | F | 19 | 1 years | 8/26/2014 | 5 | rhematoid arthritis | Enbrel started working within about a week. Though typically it takes longer. The injections burned but my husband did them all that helped as I can't hurt myself lol | F | 26 | 1 years 1 injectio | 8/13/2014 | 4 | Psoriatic arthritis | Dry mouth, acne and oily skin, teeth started to look bad. | F | 30 | 4 days 50 mg | 8/12/2014 | 5 | RA | Dry mouth and a small rash from injection also a little anxious | F | 38 | 3 weeks 25 mg | 7/27/2014 | 1 | psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis | I thought this medication was supposed to help. I'm still taking it every week, no change in my joints except for my right thumb feels better. As for my psoriasis, its twice as bad as it was!! And my back is alot worse!! And I have bruises as big around as 50-cent pieces at the injection sites that take weeks to clear up!! | F | 57 | 7 months 50 mg | 6/18/2014 | 5 | ankylosing spondylitis | On the 3rd dose, I experienced injection side rashes in both legs, but the discomfort paled in comparison to the pain and suffering I had before taking the drug. Since taking the drug, I experience relief from inflamation, stiffness, and pain within 2-4 hours. My range of motion is greatly increased and all my fatigue vanishes. So far it has been a miricle drug. So despite all the scary possible side effects I was desperate to try anything. The suffering of my condition had me so depressed and in so much pain. I've suffered with mis diagnosed A.S. for over 16 years. Even if this allows me just a few good years, I'll be ok with that. | M | 40 | 3 weeks 50 1X W | 6/5/2014 | 3 | juvenile psoriatic arthritis | weight gain, rash on face when exposed to sun | F | 9 | 6 months 1X day | 5/6/2014 | 1 | r a | After taking my first injection i was very short of breath. This continued for ten weeks. I ended up at this point going to er with a collapsed lung. I was sent straight to ICU where i almost lost my life due to enbrel. | F | 42 | 10 weeks 50mg | 4/3/2014 | 4 | SAPHO/ Crmo with jaw involvement | The injection is super painful. The major problem I having is acute pain with pneumonia- came on sudden and docs are stumped- awaiting an antibiotic that will work. | Helped my rare bone disease right away- no probs for two years. I'm so careful with germs- cant imagine how I was fine one day and full blown pneumonia the next, my rheumy was not prepared to deal with crazy "Enbrel" infections and not able to find anyone that's familiar. | F | 38 | 2 days 50 mg 1X W | 2/21/2014 |
